A 2011 report from Justice Policy Institute on the influence-peddling of the private prison industry in state and federal government through lobbying, campaign contributions, and relationships between private corporations and government bodies.

Detailing the safety, quality, and cost of private prisons in Arizona, this is the first-ever systematic study of all for-profit prisons operating in the state. Released in February 2012, this report reveals widespread and persistent problems in private facilities around safety, lack of accountability, and cost.
